Organ Donation is when a person donates his/her organs (heart, liver, Kidneys etc.) for transplantation to the needy person to significantly improve his/her health and quality of life.
There are two types of organ donations: Living and Deceased. A living donation is when a living, medically compatible donor decides to donate his/ her organs to a recipient, normally a close relative, in dire need of a transplant.
Deceased donation is when organs from a person who has died because of brain death are transplanted into living recipients in need of a particular organ transplant.

Myth: I am afraid if the doctor comes to know that I am registered to donate my organs so being patient he may not look after me well

Myth: My religion does not allow me to donate organs
